WELCOME to Paradise - right on the Gulf! Green Reef #5 has more deck space than any other - 1700+ sq ft of brand new Trex decking! Three floors completely refurbished and refurnished with adobe and ceramic tile throughout. The Caribbean flair and decor soothes you immediately into Island Time. Over 2500 sq ft of inside living & over 1700 sq ft of patios & decking gives 2 or 10 guests room to breathe and enjoy beachfront living. This West End corner townhome allows more windows and more decks for ocean views, and more outside space for entertaining. This section of Beautiful Crystal Beach is as private as it gets in Destin - or for that matter, in the USA! Enjoy Coffee with the Dolphins in the morning and make personal toasts to the Sunset each evening from your choice of 3 decks - or even better, from your beach chair.

WIFI is included if you have the need to connect to the real world.

The vaulted Master Suite on the top floor Gulf side has a King size bed, a custom built-in wall unit covering one wall, beautiful bath and private balcony with a bar height table and barstools for unobstructed views.

A 2nd Master Suite on top floor has a Queen size bed and also includes a private bath.

The 3rd bedroom on the top floor has a set of bunk beds - two twins.

The Street level with kitchen, breakfast bar, dining space, custom built-in wall units and huge living area has an additional balcony with bar height table & barstools, adding even more space to your living area. A half bath is also on this level

The Lower Beach level with full bath, kitchen, breakfast bar, living, dining area and bedroom has a Queen bed in the bedroom and a Queen size sofa bed in the living area.

The deck on this beach level is enormous - 30 feet wide due to being on the end unit - and 30 feet deep with bar height table and barstools, outside dining table and chairs, four padded chaise lounge chairs and additional seating. Look out over the beautiful white sandy beach - it is EXPANSIVE and deep and whiter than ever!! The deck has outside lighting when you want more than the stars. A storage shed at the back of the deck is already stocked with beach chairs and umbrellas for you plus rafts and toys for the kids.

About NancyDee

We bought this wonderful Beach Home and moved to Destin from Texas - it was our full time home for over 16 years. A few years ago, we moved out of Destin to live on a lake and be nearer our kids/grandkids. However, we've kept GreenReef 5 so our family can always go back and enjoy it and we will be taking fewer reservations going forward because our family has grown so! All three floors have been totally and professionally refurbished and we are so happy to share its beauty with discerning Beach Lovers who will care for it as we do. Living Room and SunRoom furniture was replaced early in 2015.

NancyDee purchased this townhome in 1991

Why NancyDee chose Emerald Coast-Destin Area

We chose to buy a home on the beach in Destin mainly for the white sand and crystal clear water. But the fishing, shopping, golf, restaurants, watersports and proximity to parks, rivers and wildlife all helped us choose this unique location.

What makes this townhome unique

The best thing is walking out on the deck of any of the three levels for coffee, drinks or just to sit and enjoy the Gulf any time of day or night. Of course, the fact that you can grab a beach chair & umbrella from the lower level shed and go directly onto the sandy beach is extra special too!

Green Reef 5 is the Place to Stay!

This is one of the best beachside rental units we've ever stayed in. We found Green Reef 5 to be very clean, accurately represented in the VRBO listing and comfortable in every way. There are 3 decks looking out over the beach and gulf, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy their vacation. The lower deck is absolutely huge, partially covered & shaded, with plenty of comfortable chairs and tables. The furniture is comfortable and there are plenty of chairs and couches for all 10 adults to sit comfortably inside. We were able to host a shrimp boil for many family members who were staying nearby, and there was more than enough room for everyone on the lower level deck. The master bed is one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. The main kitchen is well equipped with utensils. The owner and her family were very friendly and helpful, making every effort to ensure that our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We highly recommend Green Reef 5 as a very fine vacation unit right on the beautiful beach in Destin, FL.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your detailed and kind review!! I hope you and your family will come to stay with us again and again. Each year we have more "repeat" guests and I LOVE that!!

Beach Wedding

This was a fantastic place to stay. We had a very intimate and small beach wedding. The back deck on the bottom floor is mostly covered so we were also able to hold the wedding reception there. There are plenty of tables and chairs and places to relax. I think it says a lot when the location also mirrors as the wedding back up in case of rain and is the reception location. Everything we could possibly need or ask for was there from two kitchens, a separate living space on the bottom floor - cozy, intimate, roomy, and well-appointed. The beach is steps off the back deck, and there are three decks to view the entire destin coastline. gorgeous!

Sweet Spot on the Gulf

This wonderful vacation home sits right at that sweet spot between elegant Gulf villa and completely relaxed beach house. The town home's decor is tasteful and topical. Its furnishings and facilities are first class. It was immaculately clean. it is located just a short drive to supermarkets and all sorts of retailers. A quick drive to get provisions and we were right back, enjoying the unspeakable beauty of a pristine white sand beach and the spectacular Gulf.

There is more beautiful beach than the ordinary person could ever walk. The three decks are perfect perches to experience Picasso sunrises and sunsets...bookends to Van Gogh "Starry Nights" over the Gulf. Even the occasional stormy day provided a unique experience of nature's power and beauty on the Gulf. Normally on vacation, we look forward to local day trips to see the sights. On this trip, we loved nothing more than staying put and savoring the beauty of every moment on the Gulf. We found ourselves quickly settling into the Gulf's wonderfully relaxing rhythm. When family members spent time with us, they fell in love with this beautiful spot instantly, just as we had.

Communicating with the owner was one of the highlights of our vacation. From our first e-mail contact, Nancy clearly wanted us to enjoy everything about our stay. Her information on the town home, local restaurants, points of interest, etc. was thorough and helpful. Whenever we asked for additional assistance, Nancy was quick to provide information that had us feeling like "locals". (She couldn't do anything about our Boston accents, but that would be expecting a bit too much...). Nancy is the personification of Southern hospitality and gentility.

Many thanks to Nancy for sharing her beautiful home with us. All the best!

Owner's Response: It was so nice to get to know you and your family! Thanks for loving our beach home as much as we do! We enjoyed you sharing pictures and notes as you went through your month on the Gulf. Look forward to having you again and again!!

I found my happy place!

My family and I stayed in Green Reef #5 for a week in mid October. The spacious condo with more deck space than most people have living space, made it even more comfortable for my family. A beautiful, well maintained condo on the beach, sunny and 80+ temps, 78 degree water temps, great (casual and fine dining) restaurants within walking distance, what more could you want? I would highly recommend renting this condo.

PS. The owners are also very sweet and wonderful to work with!

Wonderful family vacation home

My extended family has been enjoying Greenreef#5 for many years around Christmas & this is our first trip back in a while. Our favorite part is being right on the beach and having a deck at every level to enjoy the views. The place is large enough for everyone to go find a corner to themselves when they get their fill of family time. Love the big open floor plan on the main floor. Recently redecorated & new furnishings since we were last there. Also pretty new deck furniture. We love that beach chairs, toys & umbrellas are already there & it is one less thing(s) to pack. The downstairs apartment is perfect for my bachelor brother who enjoys his privacy & likes to sleep in. Perfect for teens to have a cool hangout place and feel grown up. The location has 3-4 walking distance restaurants if you didn't want to drive. Shopping is also nearby & convenient. We spend our time just hanging out by the water, catching up with each other, eating like piggies, playing games at night or watching movies. The only thing I would add would be a large skillet. We were using 2-3 smaller ones to cook 4 pounds of bacon (yes, I said we ate like piggies!!). Other than that, everything that you need is there. The place is clean, comfortable and feels like home. The beds are so comfy!! hated to leave but will be back.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much Kelly - you make me smile! I'll add a big ole skillet next week - thanks for the tip. Look forward to having you again!

The beach is the best in Destin and is minutes from The Commons Shopping Mall, Silver Sands Outlet Malls & Sandestin's Village Baytowne Wharf. Also only a short drive to World-Class Golf Courses & fabulous casual or fine dining restaurants. You can even walk on the Beach to Crab Trap, Cap'n Daves (right next door), Pompano Joes or Whale's Tail - all famous beachfront restaurants. Drive West through town to Destin's famous Harbor & Fishing Fleet - or drive East to 30A, Grayton Beach, SeaSide, Water Color, Alys Beach and other quaint Beach Communities. Better yet, just take a few steps South with your umbrella & chair and laze the day away on the white sand of your private beach. There are gulf and bay state parks, preserves and forests with hiking trails to visit, and be sure to see the rare dune lakes in South Walton. This is our family's second home and we will limit reservations for that reason.
